"I Don't Care If I Vote For Happy The Clown"-So Long As Its Not These Clowns
Poll: Middle class favoring Democrats
By LIZ SIDOTI and TREVOR TOMPSON, Associated Press Writers

WASHINGTON - Middle-class voters who deserted the Democratic Party a dozen years ago are now giving the party its best chance to reclaim the House since the GOP swept Democrats from power in 1994.

Motivated by anger at President Bush and the Republican-controlled Congress, 56 percent of likely voters said they would vote on Nov. 7 to send a Democrat to the House and 37 percent said they would vote Republican. Voters in the latest Associated Press-AOL News poll rated Iraq and the economy as their top issues.

"I don't care if I vote for Happy the Clown, just so it's not who's there now," said Mary Nyilas, 51, an independent voter from Cologne, N.J., who said she would do everything she could to "vote against the powers that put us in this situation" in Iraq.

1. This is what I am saying
If the Dems don't take back at least 60 seats in the House there is something seriously wrong in America.

6. Hope for the best, expect the worst. That's my philosophy on the
subject.
